It was a chilly Sunday morning in March when my parents announced they were going to become vegans. In their hazy, half-asleep state, the morning radio show to which their alarm was set had been replaced with a talk show. That morning's guest was a doctor and very vocal vegan who insisted easy weight loss was within one's grasp if one simply went vegan. After a week of listening to my pensioner ...             Tassajara Bread Book49 reviews Edward Espe Brown Shambhala, 1970 Don't be afraid of the bread For years I have been intimidated by bread - previous attempts have been disasterous: I have baked loaves so dense they have their own gravitational field, or a bread-like substance somewhat akin to crackers lies in the bread pan. I had almost given up on it, until a friend handed me this book and said, "Don't be afraid of the bread - try this." The recipies are simple, and the instructions ...             The Joy of Vegan Baking: The Compassionate Cooks' Traditional Treats and Sinful Sweets107 reviews Colleen Patrick-Goudreau Fair Winds Press, 2007 a simple transition This cookbook is the one item that made me feel truly capable to cook and bake vegan. I love these recipes- I've made quite a few and have only had it for two weeks. Colleen has lots of useful tips and interesting tid-bits about the history of different recipes and ingredients. I think this is a must for any vegan!             The King Arthur Flour Baker's Companion: The All-Purpose Baking Cookbook56 reviews King Arthur Flour Countryman Press, 2003 My Baking Bible I received this book as a gift this past Christmas, and it is by far the most-used cookbook I own. I have a special penchant for baking, but am only still learning (before this cookbook, I'd only ever really baked cookies). I can say, then, that this cookbook is excellent for the learning baker. This is the book I used to learn to bake bread (like their delicious and easy Vermont Maple ...             The America's Test Kitchen Family Baking Book48 reviews Boston Common Press, 2008 The best baking book ever! I truly don't know where to begin to talk about this baking book. I have several books on baking, with some of the most well-known names in baking/cooking and this one has them beat, hands down. Any future brides in my family will be getting this book for a shower gift, it's that wonderful. There are recipes for biscuits and rolls that I had given up on ever mastering and you know what? I ...             The Bread Baker's Apprentice: Mastering the Art of Extraordinary Bread185 reviews Peter Reinhart Ten Speed Press, 2001 A classic must have if you want to be a truly great bread baker First off, that scathing one star review..throw it away.

This book is a MUST HAVE for anyone who wishes to learn to make great bread. The author explains the process from start to finish with many great tips he learned from years of professional experience. ...             Chocolates and Confections: Formula, Theory, and Technique for the Artisan Confectioner44 reviews Peter P.

The desserts are extra yummy too.             Gluten-Free Baking Classics64 reviews Annalise G. Roberts Surrey Books, 2006 Only GF baking book you need I've stopped using all my other baking recipes since I acquired this book.

Chronicle Books, 2001 Luscious Indeed! For anyone who likes lemon desserts-which is just about everybody! It's pretty surprising that no one had written a lemon dessert book before Lori Longbotham, but fortunately for any home baker that it's one of her favorite flavors.

This cookbook, and Pillsbury, have never let me down. The book covers everything from cookies to cakes to fancy desserts to yeast breads and coffee cakes. I have had this book for at least ten years now, and I have found many of the recipes to be 'tried and true'. They are thoroughly tested so you get very consistent, yummy results, and now that I live at high altitude, I really appreciate the ...             The Fannie Farmer Baking Book26 reviews Marion Cunningham, 1000 Cookbooks don't get better than this I've had this book for years. Its pages have drips and stains, especially on the recipes for angel food cake (infallible), chocolate mayonnaise cake (sounds weird but is wonderful), Portsmouth frosting (to go with the mayo cake), rhubarb pie, sour cream coffeecake, and so on and so on. These recipes are excellent; it's hard to go wrong. There are also step-by-step recipes for things like pie ...             A Treasury of Jewish Holiday Baking22 reviews Marcy Goldman Broadway, 1998 May Hashem Bless You This is a wonderful cookbook for the Jewish baker!
